ments in Oil-Burners, of which the followl ingis a Specification` My invention relates to oil burners for use in stoves, ranges and the like and ismore particularly adapted for burning distillate, kerosene and the like and the objects of my invention are, irst, to provide an oil burner with a part in which the oil is heated in the feed pipe extending tothe burner, second, to provide such an oil burner in which said heating part is adjustable so that the llame may be guided in various directions thereby and, third, to provide an o1l burner which is simple, durable, easily constructed, easily installed and which does lnot With these and other objects in view as will appear hereinafter my mvention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter described in detail and particularly set forth in 'the .appended claims reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the characters of reference thereon which form a part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my burner complete, Fig. 2 is a detail top or plan view of the plate which provides means for heating the oil and for directing lthe dame, Fig. 3 is a detailed fragmentary sectional. view of the burner showing the plate and showingby dotted lines the varied position of the plate relative to the burner outlet and the varied positions of the burner.

outlet to the plate. l

Similar characters of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views. The feed pipe 1, L 2, plate' supporting pipe 3, L 4, connecting pipe 5, L 6, fuel outlet pipe 7, generating pan 8, plate 9 and valve 10 constitute the principal parts of providing a spreader and director for the flame, also for the purpose of providing a heated surface with the air to strike against to provide proper combustion. This plate 9 is flat 0n its normally lower surface and rounding on for the vaporized oil mixed its normally upper surface and is supported on the pipe 3 by means of pipe threads 9" and 9c therein adapted to screw onto the free ends of the pipe 3. rlhis pipe 3 at its one end is connected to the L 2 and this L2 is also connected to the feed pipe 1 which extends `from the oil tank. ln this feed pipe 1 1s provided the needle valve 10 which is adapted to regulate the How of oil to the burner. This feed pipe lconnects with the oit supply tank which is placed a sufficient distance above theburner to adord proper gravity pressure to the burner, however, other means may be used to provide pressure tothe' burner which is no lpart` of my invention. On the other end of the feed pipe 3 is screwed the L 4 and into this L is also screwed the connecting pipe 5,its other end being screwed into the L 6. into the other end of the L 6 is screwed the one end of the fuel outlet pipe 7, the other end eX- tending backward normally parallel with the supporting pipe 3 and on its end is provided a cap .7a. lt is provided normally centrally below the plate 9 with a small outlet hole 7b adapted for the exit of the vapor ized'fuel lfrom said burner pipe 7 directly beneathvthis hole is hung a generating pan 8 which is a small pan provided with hooks adapted to hook over the pipe 7 and when it is desired to start the fire when the plate 9 is not hot the valve 10 is turned allowing a small quantity of oil to run into the pan 8' which is ignited with a match and the flame therefrom will heat the plate 9, then the oil may be turned on by means of the needle valve 10 and the fuel is vaporized by mea-ns' of the heated plate 9 so that when the vaporized fuel reaches said plate a proper gas mixture is provided for 'proper combustion. It `will be here noted that the ,burner pipe 7 mav be turned to various positions radially with the supporting pipe 3 by turning the L 4 on said pipe v3 in either direction; that it may be turned in various positions radially to the connecting pipe 5 by turning the L 6 on said pipe 5 or the pipe 5 in the L t; that the plate 9 can be radially adjusted to various positions, all as shown best in Fig. 3 by the solid and dit " include in the purview of `my invention the construction, combination and arrangement substantially as set forth in the appended claims.

It is obvious that with this construction there is provided an oil burner in which the fuel oil is reduced to a vapor in the feed pipe by the flame; that the .plate ,in which this oil is reduced to a vapor is readily adjustable into various angles for the purpose ofspreading and directing the flame of the burner; that the outlet from the burner may be adjusted to ,various positions relatively to said plate; that the burner is very simple and economical of construction, durable and easily installed.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. In an oilburner, the combination of an oil conducting pipe consisting of a normally horizontal pipe, a normally vertical pipe connected thereto, another normally hori-v zontal pipe parallel with said first mentioned pipe, all connected by means of .Ls, a plate screwed o-nto the end of said last mentioned horizontal pipe provided with an S shaped chamber therein forming a continuation of said oil feed conductor,

another pipe screwed into said plate in alinement with the pipe upon which said plate is screwed, a normally vertical pipe connected thereto by means of an L, another horizontal pipe normally parallel with said last mentioned horizontal pipe provided with an exit hole therein, centrally beneath said plate whereby said plate may be tilted on its' supporting pipes relatively to the exit hole in said parallel pipe.

2. In an oil burner, the combination of an oil conducting pipe consisting of a normally horizontal pipe, a normally vertical pipe connected thereto, another normally hori-` zontal pipe parallel with said rst mentioned pipe, all connected by means of Ls, a plate screwed onto the end of said last mentioned horizontal pipe provided with an S shaped chamber therein forminga continuation of said oil feed conductor, another pipe screwed into said plate in alinement with the pipe upon which said plate is screwed, a normally vertical pipe connected thereto by means of an L, another horizontal pipe normally parallel with said last mentioned horizontal pipe provided with an exit hole therein, centrally beneath said plate whereby said plate may be tilted on itsV supporting pipes relatively to the exit hole in said parallel pipe and a generating pansuspended on said last mentioned pipe directly beneath theexit hole therein. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
